Unit description
This unit is offered online and is intended for students who have completed PLH221 and PLH222, or those who have equivalent knowledge of Polish at this level. PLH324 is designed to enhance students' competence in Polish and focuses on very intensive vocabulary development on the basis of individual reading of and listening to Polish short stories, and study of word derivation in Polish, on the syntax of compound and complex sentences, as well as on the ability to write longer compositions and short essays. It uses a variety of delivery modes such as printed materials and a recorded CD, as well as computer-mediated communication. All material, except the printed version of the short stories, is online.
A voluntary on-campus session will be held, where you will have the opportunity to meet your lecturer and fellow students, to review and discuss difficult items before the end of the course, and practice your speaking skills. Interstate students will find the revision material in their online unit.
